新 聞 及 資 訊   The United States: Government takes action against Montana drug manufacturer   The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that Toby McAdam and Greta Armstrong, doing business as Risingsun Health and The Center for Complimentary and Alternative Health of Livingston, Montana, have signed a consent decree that prohibits them from manufacturing and selling unapproved new drugs and adulterated or misbranded dietary supplements in violation of the law. Under the consent decree, Risingsun agreed to stop making and selling unapproved new drugs and products with unauthorized health claims. Risingsun also agreed to hire an independent expert to review the claims made for future products and to certify that all violative claims have been omitted. Prior to entry of the consent decree, Risingsun manufactured and distributed a variety of unapproved new drugs under names such as Black Salve, Cancema, and Can-Support. These products included topical salves purported to treat skin cancer, as well as oils and capsules claimed to be therapies for other serious diseases such as breast cancer, asthma, anemia, and epilepsy. These products were ineffective in treating the diseases they claim to treat. Risingsun characterized many of these unapproved new drugs as dietary supplements. Please refer to the following website in FDA for details: http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/../ucm229306.htm In Hong Kong, products manufactured by Risingsun Health and The Center for Complimentary and Alternative Health of Livingston, Montana are not registered.
